O.O Rick is allowing discussion about the rules, wow, you really trust your readers, though I've never been on a comic forum, I've never seen a forum that doesn't lock this tread straight up O.o I actually assumed it was .

One suggestion, in the Flaming rule section, ad in "no racism" as that's not something that would be directed at any particular user, and technically gets around you're defined terms of Flaming... and you missed a comma right here:

"No Flaming. Do not openly attack, insult, belittle, or abuse another poster. You will be warned if this occurs."

Re: Forum Rules

taken straight from the Chicago Manual of Style's website in their Q&A section

Q. What is the proper comma usage in describing a series of nouns with a single adjective? For example, â€œThis springâ€™s collection emphasizes sexy lingerie, blouses, skirts, and mukluks.â€ I am devoted to the serial comma, but should a comma be included after the third item if I want the adjective to apply to all four items? I write for an online retailer and often find myself stumped by this little conundrum.

A. If the adjective applies to all four nouns, a serial comma is harmless. The problem arises if the adjective is meant to apply only to some of the nouns. In that case, the comma is the least of your worries. To avoid ambiguity, you should put only the modified nouns after the adjective: â€œThis springâ€™s collection emphasizes mukluks and sexy blouses, skirts, and lingerie.â€

I believe what is being said here is that while it isn't necessarily needed, it helps to convey that what you said prior to it applies to everything in the list... and then they went into some more detail for her specific case...

Ok thanks. But I'm a bit surprised that the one you did not edit is ok. Because I've gotten away with saying that three lettered word, but I've gotten in trouble for saying crap. Weird right?

Dude, if you use it in the context of "hey guys look that beaver built a pretty cool dam" or "i visited such-and-such dam on the weekend" it's okayIn other contexts I think it would be considered censor evading, since people will still be able to tell the meaning, even if you skip out on the n.
